conix, Scalise's comment is false - No, Border Deal Won’t ‘Allow’ 5,000 Unauthorized Immigrants a Day
[...]
Experts pointed out that in light of the stricter border security measures in the compromise bill, the number of unauthorized crossings was likely to dip.

“The bill would not allow for the entry of 5,000 unauthorized immigrants a day,” Michelle Mittelstadt, a spokeswoman for the Migration Policy Institute, said in an email. “In fact, it would lead to reduced unauthorized entries because it mandates a higher bar to be considered for asylum and puts in place a swifter screening process with limits on review in case of denial, and there are increased capacities for detention and removal.”

She added, “With or without that 5,000 trigger, anyone intercepted crossing the border illegally would face a higher bar to consideration for asylum.”

Senator James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican who helped draft the bill, has also pushed back on claims it greenlit the illegal entry of 5,000 migrants a day.

“This authority is a 5,000 authority to say if you get to 5,000 — which we have been there every single day except for seven in the last four months — that it completely closes the border down, it deports everyone,” he said on Monday on Fox News.

First bottom line the bi-partisan immigration bill would have set the toughest border conditions yet, yet Trump opposed it.

That post of yours is yet another know nothing, bubble-head post by you.

"Did anyone here view the "infamous" video clip of being a dictator on Day one? Anyone?
Did anyone see and hear his answer? Two think he would dictate--drill, baby drill and lsoing the border.
Full stop.
If you say anything beyond that--you are lying.
"

Absolutely empty words. Whatever Trump said, with his history of habitual lying why would anyone believe anything he said.

Second bottom line is that you, in Trump's defense, exhibit a total lack of concern for the danger he represents.

Att: conix, Exclusive: Conservative Republican endorses Harris, calls Trump a threat to democracy
[...]
CNN — Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy.
[...]
“In voting for Vice President Harris, I assume that her public policy views are vastly different from my own,” Luttig writes, “but I am indifferent in this election as to her policy views on any issues other than America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, as I believe all Americans should be.”
[...]
Speaking to CNN, Luttig said his decision to publicly back Harris was a matter of knowing “right from wrong” – and acting in accordance.

“In my faith, we believe that we will one day answer for our wrongs. I have always tried to live my life in anticipation of that day. Imperfectly, to be sure. But I have tried,” an emotional Luttig said. “My endorsement of the Vice President was the right thing to do. It would have been wrong for me to stay silent, and I believe I would have one day had to answer for that silence.

“It’s really that simple.”

It's really that simple for Dick and Liz Cheney, and other Republicans too.

Fact is some American conservatives are aware. And care. Other conservatives are not. And don't. That's you.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
